Remarks and explanations |
| (a) When software is designed to run on a system that has
a keyboard, product functions shall be executable from a keyboard where the function itself or the result of
performing a function can be discerned textually. |
Supports |
|
| (b) Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated
features of other products that are identified as accessibility features, where those features are developed
and documented according to industry standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated
features of any operating system that are identified as accessibility features where the application
programming interface for those accessibility features has been documented by the manufacturer of the operating
system and is available to the product developer. |
Supports |
|
| (c) A well-defined on-screen indication of the current focus shall be
provided that moves among interactive interface elements as the input focus changes. The focus shall be
programmatically exposed so that Assistive Technology can track focus and focus changes. |
Supports |
|
| (d) Sufficient information about a user interface element including
the identity, operation and state of the element shall be available to Assistive Technology. When an image
represents a program element, the information conveyed by the image must also be available in text. |
Supports |
|
| (e) When bitmap images are used to identify controls,
status indicators, or other programmatic elements, the meaning assigned to those images shall be consistent
throughout an application's performance. |
Supports |
|
| (f) Textual information shall be provided through
operating system functions for displaying text. The minimum information that shall be made available is text
content, text input caret location, and text attributes. |
Supports |
|
| (g) Applications shall not override user selected contrast
and color selections and other individual display attributes. |
Supports |
|
| (h) When animation is displayed, the information shall be
displayable in at least one non-animated presentation mode at the option of the user. |
Supports |
JAMS does not use animation. |
| (i) Color coding shall not be used as the only means of
conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element. |
Supports |
|
| (j) When a product permits a user to adjust color and
contrast settings, a variety of color selections capable of producing a range of contrast levels shall be
provided. |
Supports |
|
| (k) Software shall not use flashing or blinking text,
objects, or other elements having a flash or blink frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz. |
Supports |
JAMS does not flash, blink or flicker. |
| (l) When electronic forms are used, the form shall allow
people using Assistive Technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for
completion and submission of the form, including all directions and cues. |
